gbeer carpal tunnel Registered: 17/12/2000 Posts: 2665 Loc: Manteca, California	Should I expect the transmission rate of a large file to be the same when it is sent to a samba shared folder vs. when it is sent to a folder shared via netatalk? File sent to smb share goes at about 4MB/sec. File sent via netatalk transfers at about 10MB/sec. The 10MB/sec number seems reasonable because the MBP is connecting via wireless at 130mb/s. _________________________ Glenn

I can't speculate why you're seeing less than half the rate from SMB. _________________________ Bruno Twisted Melon : Fine Mac OS Software

SMB does impose more load on the server than Appletalk does, and if the server is a slightly feeble ARM-based NAS then it might be significant. When I worked at ANT, with all RiscOS clients and all Windows servers, we still used Appletalk -- a protocol native to neither client nor server -- for file sharing, as it was the fastest. Peter

Peter Weak would describe this server, it's one of these running Ubuntu. Edited by gbeer (04/01/2010 18:54) _________________________ Glenn
